Chapter 290: Chapter 429 Innate Grandmaster, Snake-shaped Drilling Fist!

Wave Riding Micro Steps, slippery and elusive.

At this moment, the movement technique Yan Chuan displayed not only amazed Jiang Bianliu, but even Pang Shan and Wu Luo, who surrounded Yan Chuan, were shocked with their Heart Fire surging.

They originally thought Yan Chuan was strong, but still within limits, certainly not reaching the heights of the Fifth Grade or Sixth Grade.

But only when they personally fought did they realize Yan Chuan’s sheer might exceeded all imagination.

Beyond just Boxing and Swordsmanship.

Who would have thought Yan Chuan’s greatest strength would actually be his movement technique.

[To move unpredictably, as if precarious yet safe, advancing and halting are hard to foresee, moving as if leaving yet returning!]

This movement technique is truly exquisite to the very tip, unparalleled.

Relying on this movement technique, despite Yan Chuan clearly only having the Second Grade Second Layer’s cultivation, he could tangle with the Seventh and Eighth Grade pursuing Pang Shan and Wu Luo without showing signs of defeat.

Truly remarkable!

Moreover, Yan Chuan was not alone, he was not by himself, he held the Zhou Family’s five sisters in his arms, nearly a thousand jin of burden could not drag him down, his Qi Power was evident.

It’s not just the movement technique!

It’s not just the Qi Power!

It’s also endurance!

Every time Yan Chuan took a step in ’Wave Riding Micro Steps,’ every time he treaded ’Wave Riding Micro Steps,’ his Inner Strength gained slightly, and in all the twisting and turning, his Inner Strength actually increased instead of decreasing, as if endless.

Unlike Duan Yu, who relied on the ’Beiming Divine Skill’ to obtain profound Inner Strength, all of Yan Chuan’s Inner Strength came from cultivating ’Mixed Element Skill’ and ’Purple Mist Divine Skill,’ which is orthodox Daoist. Later, he also obtained the ’Yijinjing,’ causing Yan Chuan’s aptitude to transform, his Inner Strength skyrocketing and gradually becoming profound.

Now as he performs ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ again, the original Inner Strength indeed grew, even exceeding the rate of merely cultivating ’Purple Mist Divine Skill’ diligently.

Yet, when facing formidable opponents, the Inner Strength increase and recovery from ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ would ultimately be outpaced by the high-intensity consumption, and eventually, he would exhaust his strength.

But Yan Chuan is different.

He has ’Yijinjing,’ and with the blessing of this Divine Skill, the Inner Strength recovery and growth of ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ is several levels stronger than simple ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ alone!

’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ + ’Dugu Nine Swords,’ unparalleled power!

’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ + ’Yijinjing,’ endurance is boundless, and exceptionally durable!

Facing the joint attack from Pang Shan and Wu Luo, such high-intensity offensives, Yan Chuan could hold and entangle them effortlessly for up to four hours.

He could prolong it!

But there’s no need!

"Trouble Elder Jiang to help guard the Zhou Family Sisters!"

Yan Chuan drew a circle with his left hand and threw the Zhou Family Sisters, who were wrapped, towards the observing Jiang Bianliu. With this Innate Grandmaster present, Yan Chuan had no more concerns, no more fear. He discarded the Zhou Family Sisters, took up the sword, with glimmers of cold stars.

Swish swish swish!

Finally, he counterattacks!

"Movement technique!"

"Swordsmanship!"

Jiang Bianliu watched from the side, his face gradually showing a thoughtful expression: "His swordsmanship, with all its variations, is purely offensive moves, only attacking and not defending?"

Swordsmanship that only attacks and never defends is rare in the world. Though it is said that the best defense is a good offense, that’s merely in theory; in real combat, one must have both offense and defense, especially when meeting an equal or slightly superior opponent, requiring a cautious approach, defense first then work on offense, seeking opportunities while defending, and then turning to offense.

Like Yan Chuan, it’s extremely rare.

"Could it be relying on the exquisiteness of movement technique, depending on the ability to dodge the opponent’s attacks, thus creating such swordsmanship?"

Jiang Bianliu speculated.

But after looking again, he denied this guess: "His swordsmanship only advances without retreat, every move is an attack, forcing the enemy to not defend, thus he naturally doesn’t need to defend."

Movement is movement!

Swordsmanship is swordsmanship!

Yan Chuan’s movement technique is astonishing, and this set of swordsmanship is absolutely no less impressive.

His offensive was fierce; one sword after another, each sword faster than the last, continuous and unbroken, genuinely every strike is an offensive move.

If it failed to work, he immediately used his movement technique to dodge and retreat, then adjusted, returned, and attacked again, sword by sword, constantly advancing.

Jiang Bianliu’s insight was exceptional; he could tell that Yan Chuan was clearly relying on an exquisite movement technique to use these two people’s practice for swordsmanship.

The body technique and step method were exquisite, allowing Yan Chuan to advance and retreat freely, standing undefeated innately!

On such a marvelous movement foundation, using this ’advancing without retreating,’ ’only attacking without defending’ swordsmanship was completely worry-free.

Facing two!

Yan Chuan aimed each sword directly at the key points of both opponents. His offense became increasingly smooth, from the initial dependence on movement technique and finding gaps to strike a few swords making both retreat, to now, in just a few dozen bouts, he’s able to continuously attack with seven or eight swords, showing remarkable progress.

"A martial arts genius!"

"A swordsmanship genius!"

Jiang Bianliu couldn’t help but sigh.

Yan Chuan’s visible progress is truly astonishing.

However, even with Yan Chuan’s astonishing movement technique, rare swordsmanship, and Qi Power, endurance all being first-level, his opponents are, after all, two formidable deity-worshipping warriors, with certain aspects of their strength closely rivaling Seventh and Eighth Grade figures, such as Inner Strength, Inner Energy, muscle and bone, which all surpass Yan Chuan.

Clang clang clang!

Yan Chuan thrust each sword relying on the exquisite movement and swordsmanship, occasionally even threatening Pang Shan and Wu Luo, yet these two’s Inner Energy transformed into vigor protecting their body, moving as they willed, depending on powerful and vast Inner Energy, easily defending against Yan Chuan’s sword edge. Even when the Inner Energy sometimes slightly misaligned and failed to timely protect the body, their deity-worship-hardened steel bones and iron muscles allowed them to disregard slight sword edges.

Inner Energy transforming into vigor!

Steel bones and iron muscles!

Their defense is too strong!

It’s not just their defense, but their profound Inner Energy increased the power of their every punch, kick, blade, and stick to an absurd level, truly scraping causes injury, and hitting causes death.

Even if Yan Chuan used ’Wave Riding Micro Steps’ to dodge ten times a hundred times of onslaught, occasionally carrying out sword-attacking, he inevitably had to engage closely a few times. He relied on the mighty power from ’Monkey Wine,’ coupled with the Inner Strength cultivated from ’Yijinjing’ + ’Purple Mist Divine Skill,’ barely stabilizing himself, while the internal turmoil and Inner Energy never dissipated.
